Mekong delta tours

About the Mekong Delta

Asia's seventh longest river, the Mekong, begins in Tibet, traverses China and creates a border for Southeast Asian countries before entering Vietnam. Here it forms the Mekong Delta as its waters enter the South China Sea. Characterized by lowlands and earth-laden brown water, the river separates into several branches. Long wooden boats transport locals between delta villages, while larger vessels laden with goods create floating markets where buyers and sellers exchange goods. Beyond its banks, rice paddies extend to the horizon. Small businesses create rice paper, rice sweets, and rice cakes -- and even rice wine. Tropical fruits grow in the lush vegetation, and bee farms sell local honey.
